Context<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

In a context of securing and industrializing Cloud environments, the client, a major international banking group, launched an initiative to standardize the Cloud images used across its IT projects. This initiative is part of a broader effort to strengthen compliance with the group\u2019s security requirements while enabling the adoption of industrialized DevOps practices across project teams. To support this strategic initiative, the client relies on Avaliance to define, maintain, and deploy a set of standardized and secure Cloud images usable at scale across the organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Challenges<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The client needed to ensure that all Cloud images used across IT projects comply with internal standards, incorporate the group\u2019s security requirements, and are scalable across environments.<\/p>\n

The challenges also included centralizing and industrializing the image management process to ensure reliability, consistency, and continuous updates in a demanding regulatory and technical environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
